THE MORNING OREGONTAN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1923 It feij Madam Bicker CENTKALIA, Wash., Oct. . 4. Madam Kichet: I have some goods that I would like to make up like the pattern in the October AlcCall's, on page 71, No. 2871. What do you think? The lace is cream and the skirt a blue satin. I have a blue serge that I would like lor the school wear and for the street. Please name a pattern for me to go by, as I cannot sew very good without one. 1 like your help and thank you. EL.SA. ELS A. Centralia, Wash Kindly write with ink or a softer lead when addressing: this column, as I can scarcely see what you have writ ten. For the dress you have mentioned I think the style very good, though a hit extreme for the general wear that such a dress will demand. Why not eliminate the very long sleeves and have the elbow? The wrist length would be very unbecoming in the type shown. Or if you feel that you wish the very extreme, then why not the sleeve shown in the same issue on page 70, No. 2887? For a dress which shall meet the wear of schoolroom and street there is on page 73 of the same book, No. 2876, a pleasing model. IS" This is "McCall Week" in the Pattern Dept. Featuring PRINTED the new McCall PATTERNS IDS ANOBLB3, Cat., Sept. II S4: have medium brown hair and oars, brown eyes; am 6 feet 5 Inches tall and weigh 110 pounds. I have very little natural color In my face. My.n"ure mentl are: Waist 26. hip" S3. bust 8SV4. I would like a dress suitable for wear In a department store or school room, of material that will wash I also have another problem; I nave a whits georgette dress made up after the U-straight-piece pattern fV" ? the Woman's Home Companion. No. Wi. I would like to dye the epods. Plea suggest color and style. I wish this dress to wear to church and In afternoons. In both dresses I wish something unusual, attractive and still rather Inconspicuous What general hat lines would you suggest for me? My face Is rather broad through the cheek bones "I'd my chin is somewhat pointed. Would wide hHm. make me look shorter? Thanking you most sincerely I S2S5S Irma Sharpe, Los Angeles, Cat. It a- .i. sincere measure to greet the reader residing at a dis tance and who finds or has found in With the high collars o favored this season, perhaps you mis" the type which is the standing turn over. The long neck wears them well and for the dress model I am sure that you will like the cross lines as shown on the model in the October Fashionable Dress, page 29, No 2247, with the collar pictured on the same page in No. 2248. The two can be very nicely combined. For the material there is the tricotine or serge in the blue or navy, Joffre or midnight. Also the fir green, which, with the black cross trim in moire ribbon, would be very at- tractive I do not keep on the reference file any numbers as dated in your letter, and so cannot plan the dress of crepe. A paprika shade with the black trimmings would be stunning and the crepe used in the draped streamers over a. black satin crepe skirt. The long-waisted blouse to be of the eatin with the draped line over the front and back. The gar land line is being used by the French masters and Is most artistic. A round neck, with the set-in of crepe mode in a shirred line and the cord finish top will prove becom ing to your neck line. Wear both your dresses at the elx-inch length and the latter with the draped streamer dipping below the skirt's edge. In making the tT-amer of the dyed material. Join the ends of your panels on one long length and drape in becoming man ner. For the hat which will be most be coming I would say that the wide brim should prove the favorite. And a little dip in the brim with the black satin and paprika frock. The hat of black velvet with a' flat but handsome bow of the contrasting shade worn on the right dipping edge and the frayed ends a bit over the edge. PORTLAND, Sept. 13. Dear Madam Blchet: I am 19 years old, 6 feet 3 Inches, weigh 130 pounds, rather stout, dark complexloned, very little color; dark brown hair and brown eyes. I want to have a dark blue poiret twill or tricotine dress made for every day wear and want to combine it with red or some other color. Which of these two materials would be the most service able? Also could you suggest a pattern to make It by. I want It to be rather lcng-watsted, loose fitting and skirt with the panel on each side, faced with the red or another color. For the facing what kind of material would I get? 1 also have soma black canton crepe which I would llks to have made up for an evening dress. Could you suggest a pattern for me? Are sashes to be worn much this season? I would like to have made so as to wear with a -sash If pos sible. Also, what style would be be coming to me in a blue taffeta? 1 will need my wool dress shortly, so I hops to see your answer soon. Thank ing you very much for your suggestion, I am yours truly, BUSINESS GIRL.. Business Girl For the woolen dress please see the Style for Octo ber, where, on page 8, there appears In No. S 6172 a model you will like, where, on page 8. there appears in No. S 6172 a model you will like. The side trim is especially inter esting and will give you length. Have the blue tricotine braided in the black soutache. The style is splendid for the stout figure because of the slit on the side. The buttons and the belt of red suede. The evening dress of black canton seems very old, but with the model I have selected for you perhaps the touch of youth will appear. Please see the Designer for September, page 65. No. 3931. Make over an under drop of jade green and bead in the jel and jade irldescents. This will make a stunning and attractive frock. The cap sleeve can be added and of the black with" the beaded edare. For the blue taffeta I would have the model shown in the Fashionable Dress for September, page 18, No. 2143. Let the collar, sleeve, trim and skirt strap be of the flame red in a duvetyn. " This will make a fetching frock. i ! 3 2 The Oresronian publishes practi cally all of the want ads printed in 1 the other three Portland papers, in addition to thousands of exclusive advertisements not printed in any other local paper. !
